This is not at all how laws actually work. If you sell a product to customers in a specific country, you generally have to comply with local laws. You might be able to avoid this if you're very small and your service is entirely virtual. However, as long as Starlink needs to provide their customers with physical hardware, there are numerous ways to enforce regulations.
